Summer CA Bible Studies
Through out the summer we are doing a bible study through the latter part of the Book of Acts. The content of these chapters is Paul’s journeys through out the Mediterranean. We are currently in our fourth week and are in chapter 14 of Acts.
We aren’t meeting in the SURC (Student Union and Recreation Center) on campus during the summer, instead we meet in students’ apartments, my house or Matt’s place. Meeting in our personal residences affords us the opportunity to experiment a little bit with our meeting time.
Last week we placed a little altar in the front of the room. We opened in prayer, talked about Acts 13 then moved into a time of prayer where students had the opportunity to come forward and light a candle. As they lit the candle they had the option of saying out loud what they were seeking from God or thanking him for.
I have done this in the past, when I was in youth ministry. The kids always enjoyed this kind of prayer because it was engaging, active and involved fire. I figured I would give it a shot with the college group to see how they would respond.
When the students were done we prayed once more and moved into a time of communion.
After we finished up at my place we headed out to Dollar Scoop Night at Winegars. A good time was had by all.
